Chicks, Chicks & more Chicks

No Babies Yet... 

So I thought I'd share some really cute chick pics.

 14 chicks have hatched out in the past few days

No Words Needed ;)

Jan. chicks 2 weeks old.

I had to get the lil boogers out of my bathroom, I cant get to my fish tank brooder in the shed, my honey had to stuff the shed full with our junk, we really need a garage. So I moved em to my upside down recycled rabbit hutch brooder, they are nice warm & safe... I got it all fixed for em.

Arent they cute.

1st chickies of the year...

Remember these 7 eggs I put in the bator earlier this month, they started hatching right on time, Jan. 22/23...

5/7 eggs hatched. The chickies are so cute. They are livin in a wooden box brooder in my bathroom with their heat lamp.

A lil bantam

The other 4 are from my Oklahoma Hens...

Arent they sweet :)

July Bator Hatch

This hatch wasnt suppose to hatch til July 25, so they are really earlier. When I heard the 1st cheeps Wednesday mornin about freaked because I knew it was too soon, I hadnt even taken the eggs out of the egg turner, I hadnt filled the water trays like you have to on lockdown, it wasnt even time for lockdown. So I just let nature take its course, I unplugged the egg turner, I used a tube to add water to the bator through the vent pug at the top, then I prayed & guess what...... 32/42 have hatched! This is the best hatch I've had a awhile!!!

This one is a silkie... not sure if shes pure or not.

28 goin to the outside brooder

Alot of these will be sold or atleast thats the plan, lol

2July hatches & a double yolker...

I "THINK" these will be my last hatches of the year with broodies, if I get anymore broodies I will have to break em. I do have 42 eggs in the bator & that will be my last bator hatch of the year. Wooweee... I've hatched out alot of chicks this year, lol I've sold some, kept some & some didnt make it.

I got 12 free eggs from a BYC lady that lives in the same area, we are tradin hatchin eggs, 6 hatched... these are mutt chicks, she has mixed hens that are RIR, EE, Golden Comit or her flock roo is a EE/RIR mix and then she has two RIR roos also. They make cute lil chickies.

Little Rosie (chipmunks daughter, hatched out last summer) went broodie for the 1st time, then made a hidden nest in the neighbors field, luckly I seen where she went the night her eggs started to hatch, Kaylin went & got Rosie & her eggs we put them in a dog cage inside the bantam tractor. She had 4 eggs, 2 hatched, they are so tiny & cute.

Somebody gave me a double yolker this week, I just ate it this mornin, yum 0.

June 7 Bantam Chickies

While I was away from the farm all day yesterday & overnight (my daughter & I ended up havin a girls day that turned into stayin the night at my cousins, we had a nice time) anyways... I called home to check on my chickens & my son told me chicks were hatchin from under 2 hens. I forgot it was time for them to hatch! Around May 19 I had but bantam eggs under two broodies, 8 hatched. They are the cutest lil chickies, I really hope they do good & I get to see them grow. I actually just put all 8 in my brooder pen with 1 of the hens to take care of em.
